THE UNKNOWN LAND.
Unromantic aracterIstIcs of the Natives
of Patagonia.


Stern, wild and inhospitable are the
shores of Patagonia and the adjacent
island Of Terra del Fuego. There have
been few explorers who have pene-
trated into their unknown interiors.
and the general knowledge of these
countries is necessarily confined and of
no reliable value. IN the middle of
summer the climate is cold, the winds
bitterly cold. and snow squalls fire.
quent, so that the dark and long win
tiers can be more easily imagined than
described.
In these inhospitable regions wander
nomadic tribes, which manage 20 sub
sist on goat flesh and fish, bread being
next to unknown. and vegetation be-
ing of the scantiest. There is general
impression that the Patagonian is a
giant. never saw one over five feet
ten inches in height. and most of them
were much shorter, and OH the average
stunted. The females have a muscular
development equal to the males, and i.
is sometimes difficult to distinguish be-
tween the sexes. owing to the mascu-
line appearance of the gentler sex, the
women in most cases sporting an i'll
cirient mugtache and beard. which on
the male never grows very luxurian:ly.
Both sexes dress alike. Bleak and
cold as the climate is at the best o.
times. the usual dress consists OF the
skin Of some wild animal loosely
wrapped around the body. Little chill
dren can be seen running NAKED over
the snow. their well-Oiled brown skin
apparently impervious to the biting
winds. Those savagos wandering to
the CHILEAN settlement Of Punta Arenas
(Sandy point) have often been pre-
sented with various articles of clothing,

Giles inGustriously co ntinue contributing
boxfuls of clothing, but it is mystery
what becomes of the garments. Most
likely :hcre are secondhand dealers
who barter rum for the "duds."
As the Patagonian tribes are nomadic,
their temporary dwellings consist of the
branches ot trees interviewer so ~ to
form basket-work defense against the

also give shelter which seems to con-

After the Battle.

Hundreds of bodies freshly smcared
with blood of men who, two hours pre-
vious, had been filled with divers lofty
o. petty hopes and desires. now lay
with stiffened limbs in the dowy,
fowerv valley which separated the bas-
ton from the trench and on the level
floor of the chapel for the dead in Sc.
vastOp0l; hundreds of men crawled,
twisted and groaned with curses and
prayers on their parched lips, some
amidst the corpses in the flower-strewn
vale, others on strctchers, on cots, and
OH the blOod-stained floor of the hos
pital; and still, as on the days pre-
ceding, the red dawn burned over Mt.
Sapun, the twinkling stars paled, the
white mist spread abroad from the
dark, sounding sea, the red glow illu-
minated the east; long. crimson cloud
lets darted across the bright blue hori-
zon; anil still. as on days preceding, the
powerful. all-beautiful sun rose up,
giving promise Of joy, love and happi-
ness to all who dwell in the world. -

HARVESTING WHEAT.
The Proper Way OF Cutting. Binding and
Shocking tho Grain.

The Proper Way OF Cutting. Binding and
Shocking tho Grain.
IA soon as the wheat is fairly ont Of
the dough, and the straw has turned
golden yellow, it should be cut, bound
and shocked. The self-binding har-
yester is the best and most economical
means of harvesting wheat where the
areas are large enough to warrant its
purchase. and the fields large enough.
and smooth enough to permit its profit
able use. Sometimes single Irvine
binder will cut the wheat of a whole.
neighborhood. beginning early on the.
more sandy soil and early varieties and
extending the time tor ten days or
more. ending with the clayey soils and
lste-ripening varieties.
IL there is much grass. clover or
weeds i'm che butts of the wheat, it Is
best to let the bundles lie on their sides
n few hours in the hot sun before
shocking and Gaping, unless rain
threatens IL shocked at once. The
green STUFF in the butts. standing or.
the ground and with no access To the.
air, is apt to heat and mold. No
matter how free from grass and weeds
or how ripe the wheat may be, it
should stand in the shock at least three.
or four days. and make before it is
stored in stack or barn for throshing.
otherwise it is apt not only to sweat in
the NOW. which it will do at any rate.
but to mold and injure both the straw
for feeding purposes and the wheat for
milling purposes. In order that it may
stand safely in the shock and with
stand storm if it comes, the wheat
should be shocked in circular or &C.
tagonal form. with eight or ten bundles
standing upright and two long slender
ones horizontally on top. broken at the
band, and the heads and butts spread
out and bent downward like al UNI
brella over the whole. 1t takes kDacS
and experience to shock grain well,
and it can be no more described or
taught on paper than any other trade
or part Of trade or work of knack and
skill.-Prc&dent W. l. CIanldeTiGia.

Substantial County Roads.

The Importance of good roads in a
farming region is not sufficiently ap-
preciated The first cost of such roads
is of course greater than roughly
made dirt road. but the wear and tear
on vehicles and horses. the loss of time
on account of bad going in wet weather.
and other drawbacks incident to poorly
constructed highways. moro than
countcrbalance the extra cost 1t is
estimated that roadway Of stone.
twelve to eighteen inches deep, wide
enough for wagons to pass easily. will
add enough to the value of the farms
through which it passes to pay the cost
of construction ten times over in
localities where material is easily pro-
cured, and such road will be almost
ndestructible.-N 7. Examiner.

REFLECTOR
MY FAMILY.

q. TIM as proud as one can be,
OF this, my growing fam-i-lee,
And all of them are bouncing boys
Except my wife. We Ike their noise
And think our nine. as children run,
Are far less troublesome than ono.
They cost but little more to raise,
Which will prove in sundry ways.
For instance. as each treasure grows
He fills his bigger brothers clothes,
And when the eldest Of the nine
Gets big enough he'll step in mine;
THIS psaI. which gives no end OF fun
Takes no more clothes than goes to one.
Their school-books. Ike their garments brown
Are to the others handed down.
And as each lad in knowledge grows,
he tells the next one what be knows;
Up Iearning's ladder thus they climb,
A chain Of wisdom quite sublime,
Until with me upon the top
They know SO much they've got to stop
Just like their books and clothes, their toys
Are used in turn by all our boys,
So that the nine have lots Of fun
With no more toys than goes 20 one.
When one OF ours is taken sick,
OF course the others catch il quick;
So when the doctor makes his call
That visit nicely serves for all:
Theyr TO dosed by wholesale, nursed the same,
And soon get well for they are game.
The feeding question. I'll adsoit,
Is where we needs must use our wit:
On oatmeal pOrridge mush and milk,
Children grow strong and fine Us silk;
And this cheap. healthy diet hne
Is what We have to give cur nine,
Which being cooked and served with ease,
Saves work, and with all agrees.
In summer when q change we wish.
The boys go out and catch some fish
And pick wild berries, too. which serves
For suppers and home made preserves
II we had only one we'd try
10 stun him full of cake and pie
And other dainties that would mako
The little fellows stomach ache,
And cost in doctor bills and care
More than our nine boys better fare.
In fact. our one would live so high
And get such petting he would die.
II wed but one he'd lonesome be,
And want 10 be amused. so we
Would have no time to read or rest
And. may be- think he was pest.
But having nine, they sweetiy play
Together out OF doors all day
Till night and then they gladly creep
To bed and-presto they're asleep.
When We are old nine loving boys
Will crown our latter days With joys,
And when we die we'll live again
In nine good. solid, handsome men.
